STEFAN BURGER
In the circumstances
boarding We dress, drape, painting, cover you up and - the inclined wall, the aging face, the drill broke out, the battered body . We like to arrange our world so that their development, their mechanism, their operating are not visible that they portrayed as a perfect shiny box in front of us, seen and admired can be. Acts disappear in the result, tearing, defects and improper action to be laminated wegeditiert spaces. We like the result, the appearance, action, the event and the glory - and touch up the in-between, the absent, mat, anticlimax the way, wipe the undesirable in the real or virtual trash.
Stefan Burger knows about this performance of the perfect and present (especially in photography, with its so-homogeneous surface, their brilliant appearance and mass media dissemination) and scraped the paint here, since entering the backyard, there discovered a chaotic structure. With fondness, he removed all of the laminations, and focuses attention on what lies behind, half-finished, stuttering, on the before and after, the abandoned and void. Not the blooming flowers Stock interested him, but the empty flower box, not the autumn of news, but the sell-out, not the big show, but abandoned the stage, the lights extinguished. He is interested in the mechanisms of perceiving, producing and operating. His gaze falls on the circumstances of making art, the imagery, of showing and exhibiting of works.
is curator of the exhibition Urs Stahel.
On Sunday 26 September, at 11.30 Clock by an artist talk with Stefan Burger.
